The pictures are all fully named with the artist name and dates, publication it’s taken from with date as well as the name of the picture/description, eg. Shunso, Katsukawa (1729-1792) – Japanese Art 1903 – Typical woman of the Ukio-ye school

There are lots of Japanese art pictures on the disc such as the ones above but as well as that there are also Japanese gardens and places in China & Korea, pictured by artists such as Mortimer Menpes, Emily Kemp, Ella du Cane, Norman Hardy & Walter Tyndale.  Old Japanese artists include Kitagawa Utamaro, Utagawa Toyokuni, Yoshitosho Taiso, Yukio Ozaki and more.

There are some backgrounds on the disc including some texts which also make a great backing for card-making and scrap-booking designs.  Oriental flowers and dogs also feature, as well as several embroideries which are just gorgeous!

The disc also includes a comprehensive article about the copyright rules in both the UK and the US and how they affect each other.  Not only will you be able to understand the rules that put these pictures into the public domain, but it will also arm you with the knowledge so that you can decide if other pictures can be freely used in the same way.
